Robot mode with Combat Deck and Roller

Really glad to see the missiles returned to their original size instead of the ridiculous looking long missiles from previous 21st Century Hasbro reissues. The launching mechanism has been completely removed, which I think is the better choice given the adult collector core demographic for G1 reissues. The Retro reissue missiles are dark grey instead of black.

Notice that Retro Roller (centre) has no headlight decos and has dark grey tyres instead of black
